1. INSTALL RADIATOR TANK UPPER


    A104624E02
  1. Install the punch assembly to the overhaul handle, inserting it in the hole in part A as shown in the illustration.

    SST
    09230-01010  
    09231-14010  
  1. While gripping the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that dimension B is as shown in the illustration.

    Dimension B:
    8.4 mm (0.331 in.)

  1. After checking that there are no foreign objects in the lock plate groove, install a new O-ring without twisting it.

    HINT:
    When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it with sand paper without scratching it.


    A128141E01
  1. Install the tank without damaging the O-ring.

  1. Tap the lock plate with a soft-faced hammer so that there is no gap between the lock plate and the tank.



    A129608E01
  1. Lightly press SST against the lock plate in the order shown in the illustration. After repeating this a few times, fully caulk the lock plate by gripping the handle until stopped by the stopper plate.

    HINT:
    1. Do not tap the areas protruding around the pipes, brackets or tank ribs.
    2. The dotted circles shown in the illustration and parts of the oil cooler near the dotted circles cannot be tapped with the SST. Use pliers or similar objects and be careful not to damage the core plates.

  1. Check the lock plate height (H) after completing caulking.

    Plate height (H):
    7.40 to 7.80 mm (0.2913 to 0.3071 in.)
    If not within the specified height range, adjust the stopper bolt of the handle and caulk again.


2. INSTALL RADIATOR TANK LOWER

HINT:
Removal procedure of the lower radiator tank is the same as that of the upper radiator tank.


3. INSTALL DRAIN PLUG
  1. Install a new O-ring to the drain plug.

  1. Install the drain plug.



4. INSPECT FOR WATER LEAKS


    A128143E03
  1. Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with SST.

    SST
    09230-01010  
  1. Using the radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator.

    Test pressure:
    177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi)
  1. Submerge the radiator in water.



    A087096E02
  1. Inspect for leaks.

    HINT:
    On radiators with resin tanks, there is clearance between the tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain, giving the appearance of an air leak when the radiator is submerged in water. Therefore, before doing the water leak test, first swish the radiator around in the water until all air bubbles disappear.
